Just a few weeks back it was revealed that the same team behind the seminal Sydney dance event Transmission would make their triumphant return in 2010 with a brand new party. Named Magic City, until now further details about the event had been scant. Well the wait is over, as after much anticipation we can exclusively bring you the full announcement of who’ll be appearing at the party, across five massive arenas!

The event will be themed Unleash The Dragon and it will see a number of exciting world firsts occur, all of which are sure to get hard dance aficionados hot under the collar. Headlining the whole shebang is hardstyle godfather Zany, who is surely a familiar name to many, but perhaps the most alluring is that he’ll also be appearing in his Donkey Rollers guise with Jowan and DV8, playing a versus set with the Noisecontrollers. This is the first time Donkey Rollers and Noisecontrollers have done head to head anywhere in the world, so Australian hard dance fans are no doubt in for a treat! Not to be outdone Magic City will also be the debut live performance of local hardstyle outfit Toneshifterz.

Of course that’s not all to grab your attention, with the lineup literally bursting at the seams with local and international talent. Other highlights include Kamui and Alex Kidd vs Kidd Kaos, plus regular favourites like Dr Willis, Amber Savage, Matrix, Nik Fish, Suae and more. For the full rundown of artists check out the lineup below. Tickets will go onsale on February 25th, and next week we’ll be taking the wraps off a major promotion to coincide with the event. If you’re a bonafide hard dance fan keep your eyes glued to ITM!

Take a look at the amazingly epic Magic City: Unleash The Dragon video trailer here. It was filmed on location in Byron Bay last year just after Defqon.1, starring Zany, Jowan and DV8. Bring it on!
